Textbook Question
Chapter 16.2, Problem 1AWYK
Would autonomic postganglionic fibers have faster or slower conduction speeds than somatic motor fibers? Why? (See hints in section 13.3d. Assume no significant difference in fiber diameter.)

the bacterium clostridium tetani produce a toxin called tetanospasmin, the causative agent os the disease tetanus. the toxin prevents the release of inhibitory transmitters in the CNS and so blocks the resulting IPSPs they would normally generate. what are some of the functions of inhibitory synapses? considering this what symptoms would you expect from the disease tetanus, and why? ( hint: imagine trying to stand up if all of the muscles in your lower limb contracted at the same time.)
Alzheimer’s disease is thought to cause a DECREASE in the amount of acetylcholine (ACH) being released into the synaptic cleft in specific parts of the brain. What would be a possible treatment for this disease? (So basically- what would be a possible way to increase the amount of ACH in the synaptic cleft?)
Describe the biosynthesis of acetylcholine in cholinergic neurons
